(Book 29, Hadith 82) #36298
The Consequences of Drunken Actions

SUMMARY: Divorce is allowed when a drunk man does it, but if he kills someone, he will be killed for it.

Yahya related to me from Malik that he had heard that Said ibn al-Musayyab and Sulayman ibn Yasar were asked about a man who divorced when he was drunk. They said, "When a drunk man divorces, his divorce is allowed. If he kills, he is killed for it". Malik said, "That is what is done among us".
وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّهُ بَلَغَهُ أَنَّ سَعِيدَ بْنَ الْمُسَيَّبِ، وَسُلَيْمَانَ بْنَ يَسَارٍ، سُئِلاَ عَنْ طَلاَقِ السَّكْرَانِ، فَقَالاَ إِذَا طَلَّقَ السَّكْرَانُ جَازَ طَلاَقُهُ وَإِنْ قَتَلَ قُتِلَ بِهِ ‏.‏ قَالَ مَالِكٌ وَعَلَى ذَلِكَ الأَمْرُ عِنْدَنَا

However, if they commit murder while inebriated, they will be punished for it with death. This hadith teaches us that we must take responsibility for our actions even when we are not in control of ourselves due to intoxication or any other reason. We should also remember that there are consequences to our actions no matter what state we are in and should act accordingly.
